I have been looking and researching who that is and believe it is Margret Higgins Hall
She, and Dickey Chappell were the only Female War correspondents in South Vietnam as of December 1962 -January 1963
She died in Washington, D.C. on January 3, 1966 of Leishmaniasis disease which she contracted while in Vietnam. She is buried in Section 2 of Arlington National Cemetery.

We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union
Hmmm... interesting!! It wasn't anyone that I was THINKING that it might be, then. I've never even HEARD of her, OR that disease!!! So much to learn, so little time...
Holy MOLY!!! I just did a quick search on that disease, and I learned something new...YOU DON'T WANT TO GET BIT BY A SANDFLY!!!
